Lord Stanley Game Three

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool Joel Quennville four times? Shame on the organization. Zdeno Chara was in the dressing room with a skate issue for at least four shifts and Quennville failed to get Jonathan Toews on the ice for any of them. How does that happen with today's technology?

Tuukka Rask. Wow. Great game, but "the ice gets sh$^% at the ends of periods"? NBC's Pierre McGuire seems to inspire swearing, eh? Andrew Shaw got him at the end of Game 1, too.

A big deal was made about a Marian Hossa injury that "must" have happened during warm-ups. So why was Ben Smith told -- in the afternoon -- to be ready for Monday night's game? #preexisting injury

Jonathan Toews has to be hurt. The CBC camera caught a glimpse of him laboring on the bench after that smack by Zdeno Chara. He labored from that point on and he seemed to be favoring his left hand/arm/shoulder? Uh-oh.

And here I thought Bryan McCabe was the ultimate rag doll. Nope. Bryan Bickell has taken his place ... all 223 lbs of him. Man, Chara is a beast.

Billy Hamilton went for $28 in the NL LABR auction this past weekend. I discussed this with a fellow writer who participates in Tout Wars with me later this month and we discussed the problem with investing heavily into Hamilton.
